Context

Cohesion Policy

The Commission's proposals of October 2011:

- Designed to support the Europe 2020 objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth

- Thematic concentration of investment: focus on research and innovation, SME competitiveness and low-carbon economy in ERDF

- Focus on impact not absorption- Conditionalities to ensure effective implementation, e.g.

research and innovation strategies for smart specialisation are condition for CSF funding of RDT, innovation and ICT use

- Common Strategic Framework of the Commission for coherence between ERDF, ESF, CF, EAFRD and EMFF and synergies with Horizon 2020, COSME etc.

RIS3 = ex ante conditionality for

future Cohesion Policy investments

Why RIS3?

Cohesion Policy

Where does Croatia stand in terms of innovation?

Cohesion Policy

� low R&D expenditure (0.7% of GDP), high portion from public sources (nearly 50%), significant regional disparities

� SME sector technologically weak (dominance of low-tech sectors; business services oriented towards low value added support); obstacles to their growth (bureaucracy, insufficient support to entrepreneurship, poor access to finance)

� support to modernisation and restructuring of enterprises underdeveloped

� unexploited growth potential in agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture� insufficient coverage, accessibility and use of ICT esp. in rural areas� mismatch of labour market demand and supply� higher education attainment below the EU average (share of tertiary

educated amongst 30-34 year olds: 24.5% compared to 34.6% in EU)� low lifelong learning participation (2.2% - EU average is 8.2%)

"One-size-fits-all"

is impossible!… but every

region has some asset that can make it special

in terms of innovation …

� Search for more efficient + effective regional development policies, avoiding overlap, imitation, inward-looking, disregard for markets & demand, existing sectors only, inter-ministerial cleavages, wishful thinking …

� Setting innovation as priority for all regions (Europe 2020) and improving innovation (strategy) process

� Better use of scarce public resources, aiming for synergies between EU, national/regional and private funds (PPPs)

� Driving economic transformation, focusing on regional profiles in global value chain

� New academic insights and concepts in the fields of growth, competitiveness and innovation

“Research is the transformation of money into knowledge.

Innovation is the transformation of knowledge into money.”

Geoffrey Nicholson, 3M

Cohesion Policy

Research &

InnovationStrategy

What is a RIS3? Possible under ERDF (and partly EAFRD):

Research and technological development

• Applied research, technology development, experimental development

• R&I infrastructure, centres of competence

• Business R&I: Product & service development , incl. ICT

• Technology transfer, etc.

Build up excellence!

All forms, fields & stages of innovation:

• Demand driven / user-centred / social innovation

• Public service innovation, e-governance

• Networking, clustering, open innovation

• Pilot lines, proof-of-concept, advanced manufacturing capabilities, key enabling technologies

• E-commerce, e-learning, e-inclusion … Cohesion

Policy

+ ESF, legislative measures, tax incentives, etc.

Research &

InnovationStrategy

("strategic policy framework")

What is a RIS3? Medium to long term

Comprehensive:

Not only funding, but also legislative measures, governance, innovation system, business environment, etc.

Not only R&I projects and infrastructure, but capacity building: skills, entrepreneurial mind-set, infrastructures, innovation management skills …

Mobilisation of investments and synergies across different departments and governance levels (EU-national-regional), publ.&private

Not only enabling R&I, but market up-take and demand perspective

= fact-based: all assets= no top-down but process + shared vision among innovation stakeholders, in particular business= All forms of innovation – not only technology and research driven = eco-systems: creating environments for change= Mobilisation of investments and synergies across different departments and governance levels (EU-national-regional)= source-in knowledge, & technologies

= Be different!= competitive advantages, potential for excellence, opportunities = global perspective on potential competitive advantage + potential for cooperation, global value chains

= Concentration of resources on priorities, problems and core needs= accumulation of critical mass = not necessarily focus on a single sector, but cross-fertilisations, rejuvenating traditional sectors through higher value-added activities

Who develops my RIS3?

Who does NOT prepare your RIS3?

Consultants, experts European Commission JASPERS World Bank OECD

... but they can accompany the process, provide contacts, data material, information, methodologies, assist with trans-national comparisons ...

How will the compliance with the RIS3 ex-ante conditionality be

checked?

Cohesion Policy

Ex-ante conditionality fulfilment criteria

For investment priority 1:

Strengthening RTD and innovationNational or regional research and innovation strategic policy framework for smart

specialisation is in place that:

– is based on a SWOT or similar analysis

to concentrate resources on a limited set of research and innovation priorities;

– outlines measures to stimulate private RTD investment;

– contains a monitoring and review mechanism.

–A framework outlining available budgetary resources for R&I has been adopted.

… In addition for research infrastructures:

An indicative multi-annual plan for budgeting and prioritization of investments linked

to EU priorities, and, where appropriate, the European Strategy Forum on Research

Infrastructures - ESFRI has been adopted.Cohesion

Policy

Ex-ante conditionality fulfilment criteria

For investment priority 2:

Enhancing use and quality of ICT A strategic policy framework for digital growth for instance in the RIS3 to stimulate

demand for affordable, good quality and interoperable ICT-enabled private and public

services and increase uptake by citizens, including vulnerable groups, businesses and

public administrations including cross border initiatives in place that contains:

– budgeting and prioritisation of actions through a SWOT or similar analysis consistent

with the Scoreboard of the Digital Agenda for Europe ;

– an analyses of balancing support for demand and supply of ICT should have been

conducted;

– measurable targets for outcomes indicators to measure progress of interventions in

the field of digital literacy, skills, e-inclusion, e-accessibility, and e-health within the

limits of Article 168 TFEU which are aligned with existing relevant sectoral national or

regional strategies.

– assessment of needs to reinforce ICT capacity-building.Cohesion

How to develop a RIS3?

Cohesion Policy

Steps to develop a RIS3

Step 1: Analysis of regional potential for

innovation-driven differentiation

Step 2: Design and governance – ensuring

participation & ownership

Step 3: Elaboration of an overall vision for

the future of the region

Step 4: Selection of priorities for RIS3 +

definition of objectives

Step 5: Definition of coherent policy mix,

roadmaps and action plan

Step 6: Integration of monitoring and

evaluation mechanisms
